Servings 12 oz (yields)

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Cashews
  • Water to soak or boil
  • ½ cup Soy or Almond Milk
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Agave
  • 2 cloves Garlic medium
  • ½ cup Chipotle Peppers with Adobo Sauce canned
  • a pinch Smoked Paprika
  • ¼ tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • Soak cashews overnight or boil them over low-medium heat for 30 minutes or until soft. Remove from heat and drain out the water.
  • In a food processor, blend together the boiled cashews, milk, lemon juice, agave, garlic, chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, smoked paprika and salt.
  • While blending, drizzle olive oil until the mixture is smooth. This technique prevents the oil from separating from the dressing after blending.
  • Adjust salt, pepper, lemon, and agave to taste. Store in a refrigerator for up to two weeks.
